"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" activists Lt. Dan Choi and Capt. Jim Pietrangelo were arrested after they handcuffed themselves to the fence surrounding the White House. They were charged with failure to obey a lawful order. The two were jailed overnight, pleaded not guilty and face trial April 26.
Also arrested was activist Robin McGehee, who co-organized last year's National Equality March. She was taken into custody after helping Choi and Pietrangelo attach themselves to the fence. McGehee reported via Twitter that she was fined $35.
